The Progress Thread 2012

[Rob Cote]

Very good. Now the next step is obviously 495.

Started 5/3/1 this week.
Heaviest 5+ sets as followed:
OHP : 125 x 10
Dead(sumo) : 315 x 10 - had a rep or two more in the tank, but lost my grip on one hand at lockout. Felt like that guy making a total racket.

I know. 4 plates is SUCH a good feeling though. Gonna revel in that for a little bit. Luckily, I've never dropped anything dead lifting. When I get to where I know I'm pushing boundaries, I use clips. Just to be safe.

[kryptonik]

I use clips too. Always. On every lift. Unless you're in a specialty gym or something, you are an ******* if you don't. I don't care if you put yourself at risk of injury, but don't put those around you at one as well.

[Sir Biggz]

Under 230 now, training very light, high reps, NO heavy lifting at all, mostly machines, partial range of motion mostly, and I LOVE it. No more injuries or pain.

Lookin sexy bro (no homo)

[Papa Dras]

must we still say no homo? hey guys, check it out, I think spoolin wants to bang sir biggz. haha, you're so gay

[spoolin215]

Who wouldn't want to bang him...I mean seriously, look at him.

[sportwgn]

I'm several weeks into Stronglifts and have already seen some good gains.

Bench 85 -> 135

Squat 135-> 200

Overhead Press 45-> 95

Deadlift 105->155

Barbell Rows 65-> 115

Not massive weights but I feel great and my main goal was the having clothing fit again. Which is already happening.

[Rob Cote]

Bench 85 -> 135

I remember getting 1 plate on each side of the bar back in the day. It felt awesome! Keep it up!

My goal is 2 plates and I'm hoping to be there in the next 6 months. Thank you for the support 👍

Front squat 365x2
Bench 335 x5

Bench and front squat are almost dead even .

Also HemoRage + C4 = power of the god s !

Good luck with your heart attack goals of 2012.

C4 alone don't do **** for me. Except make me poop within 30 seconds of taking it, which is almost worth it for that reason.

Only pwo that worked for me was jack3d(which gave me anxiety) and neurocore which they stopped making because of the geranium in it. Neurocore was instant beastmode.

I just finished a container of Neurocore. It tasted like I was tonguing butthole every time. And by the end, wasn't doing **** for me. But I wanted to get rid of it. I was just treating it like morning coffee. Anyone try D-stunner? It works amazing for me.

I mix Neurocore, BRX from Force Factor, and C4 currently and works pretty well.

Does anyone take adderall to lift heavy, that is not prescribed it?

[Residentevol]

nanovapor gave me the ability to shoot lazers made of lava from my eyes..

Hit 225 5x5 and 245 1x5 today on back squat...Felt good to get back in there and knock some more rust off.

I would imagine that instead of lifting heavy, you'd spend all your time making sure the weight trees are perfectly organized.

On a serious note: I don't think I would like adderall as much for lifting, just because it's not as like in your face intense energy as a solid dose of caffeine. Adderall to me, even the 25mg IRs are much more gradual, and long term form of mental energy. Unless I am also boozing. But, I won't booze and lift. I've never heard of it being used in regards to lifting.

I haven't taken adderall yet but I have some vyvance (nearly the same thing) and it's POTENT. It doesn't make me focus though it actually makes me scatterbrained and tweaky. I think it would be valuable for PR's though.

Are you snorting it? FWIW, I knew kids that did that and they always described as the poor man's coke. You can take whatever you want from that...

[::xander::]

I don't snort it no! LOL

I've never done coke so even if it was, I wouldn't know

I take it but I am prescribed 25 MG of Adderal XL for daily use .

[Chilledman]

I had two containers that were quarter full and HemoRage Black taste like utter ass and C4 taste great so mixed them together and badassness !

Anyone use 1mr

[kryptonik]

1mr- Nope. A friend of mine does, and she swears by it. For PWO, I use Craze. I use one scoop, Saturday mornings. One tub lasts forever, and that **** gets me moving fast. The grape is kind of intense though.

Doing 5/3/1 for a bit now. Already posted my military press and deadlift days earlier last week. To close the week, I squatted 245 for set of ten, and benched 185 for a set of 9. The bench I had a bit more left, but didn't get a spotter, and didn't want to get buried. I think I could have gotten it for 11. Regardless, I'm having fun with the program for the first week.

This week will be a bit tougher for sure though. I'm not sure I'll be able to beat my "rep goals", but I will definitely be able to smoke the sets of 3 no problem.

I started playing hockey in a mens league last night as well. First time on the ice in 10 years. Scored the teams second goal, and we won 3-2. Haven't had that much fun in a long time. Really missed skating. I cannot believe how sore I am, and it's only been 12 hours since I got on the ice last night. My wrists and ankles are shot, and my groin feels like I got beat with a mace. Worth it though.

Hope you guys all had a great weekend.

edit: UltimateSteve, and anyone else I suppose. MuscleHQ deal of the day is 1MR.

http://www.musclehq.com/

Not exactly sure what the discount is or anything, as I just saw it in an e-mail and threw up on here, but it may be worth it for some of yall.

[Rob Cote]

****ed around with clean and jerks last night. I wanna work with them a bit more before going with real weight. I'd like to add 'em to my repertoire.

Also started a beard.

[Chapel]

Hope it doesn't taste as much like fart locker as neurocore does.

[ultimate steve]

Neurocore fruit punch was kinda weird tasting but it only calls for like 4oz of water.

[Rob Cote]

I used as little water as necessary and chugged it then chased with plain water to get rid of the taste.
